    We had mid to upper 70's here last Friday, close to 80 Sat and then a damn cold-front hit and it's been in the 40's all week. I hate going from one extreme to the next, never can get used to it. This keeps up much longer I'm either gonna have to run the heat duct to the garage or roll the motor in the house :D

    let's talk extremes! 8* last night and the same all week. Winter is horrible in ohio.

    Good luck. good idea on the race gas. I never had one iotta of detonation all year and i put in race gas @ the end of the year just for testing purposes and it was no less than 1/2 mph faster or more. So did i have detonation? dunno...nver blew a gasket....but race gas helped.
